#90 of 98 Re: 1997 Toy Camry fuel problem [kiawah] by clindstrom Aug 30, 2009 (11:57 am)
Replying to: kiawah (Aug 23, 2009 1:01 pm) Hey thanks, I got error P0441. It says it is a leak in the VSV or bad charcoal system. How do you find out if you have a bad VSV. They all seem to be pushing air flow. However one is not??? Should they all be pushing air when you take the hose off?   Thank you!!!!! Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 30, 2009 12:07 pm)

Replying to: clindstrom (Aug 30, 2009 11:57 am) You should look up TSB EG036-06. Your vehicle may be out of warranty, but some of the system may be covered by warranty. Don't know the VIN number of your vehicle, and whether this applies to you.   I tried sending it to clindstromcarspace.com, let's see if that works   You need to go to your carspace area, your toolbox, then mailbox section

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 30, 2009 10:59 am) Finally got the codes from the service manager, He stated that these codes (P2195, P0171, P0174) had to do with the oxygen sensor's measuring "to lean", therefore sending data that more fuel is needed and the engine is burning more fuel and emitting more emissions into the environment than it should. He stated "Toyota's fix for this includes changing the O2 sensors and also changing the manifold to a newer style manifold which positions the sensors in a better position" I told him it is a very costly repair for me and he suggested an option of just replacing the O2 sensors with the style that is on there now for a cheaper option.   He said another set of codes also appeared (P0441 & P 0446) that deals with some type of air leak in the fuel system, but does not know if that has to do with the above mentioned problem that is all related.   Any thoughts would be appreciated. How difficult is it to change the O2 sensors on my own? Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 03, 2009 9:30 am)

Replying to: skoman1 (Sep 03, 2009 7:49 am) That is certainly clearer now. They are referencing the exhaust manifold, which is what bolts on to the side of the engine and captures the exhaust gases from the cylinders, and then starts to feed it down toward the exhaust pipes and catalytic converter. An O2 sensor sits before and after the catalytic converter, and the computer uses those engine output signals to adjust the 'input' fuel mixture.....to get a clean burning mixture.   O2 sensors do go bad, and are reasonably easy to replace. Personally, I would think long and hard about replacing the exhaust manifold.....they would normally last forever on engines, there is nothing to wear. I think I'd be calling the service manager and ask them to escalate to Toyota on your behalf. If there really is a new design manifold, and they are stating the old design is designed defectively, then I'd ask for Toyota to eat the cost of the replacement. I doubt that they'd do that, but I'd be asking.

Replying to: trublsm (Sep 11, 2009 3:04 pm) I doubt it, unless you have really good hearing. I've never heard a fuel pump for any of the vehicles we've owned over the years. Replies to this message: trublsm (Sep 12, 2009 5:56 am)

Replying to: trublsm (Sep 11, 2009 3:04 pm) A DC ampmeter in place of the fuel pump fuse would tell you. Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 12, 2009 11:34 am)

Replying to: wwest (Sep 12, 2009 9:07 am) The fuse is on a circuit with other things.
